Deebo Samuel Sr. Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 15th 2024, 2:19pm EDT

Last year, Samuel bounced back after a down year as the WR12 in fantasy points per game. His dynamic playmaking ability and lucrative red zone role (14th in red zone targets) led to 12 total touchdowns (fourth-most). Samuel was the 49ers' go-to weapon against two-high coverages while also flashing strong overall efficiency numbers. Samuel was 14th in yards per route run and 30th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Samuel could easily finish as a WR1 again in 2024, but he's probably better viewed as a WR2.
